seriously, I think Nar might be part lizard. https://awoo.space/media/mBtUmKv3sVgw8mLsZ3o

watched a half-dozen juncos and a single sparrow (probably a song sparrow, though sub-sparrow groups are *really* hard to tell apart) grubbing around for food on the porch. the juncos eat seeds, but the sparrow was looking for bugs, keeping up a quiet monologue of chirping as it turned over leaves.

the leafblowers have been busy today, resulting in this: https://awoo.space/media/HH4matAJ_7fvikP9MAs

Dictionary.com's 2017 Word of the Year: "complicit" http://www.dictionary.com/e/word-of-the-year-2017/

includes a lengthy essay about why it's the word of the year, closing with:

"Our choice for Word of the Year is as much about what is visible as it is about what is not. It’s a word that reminds us that even inaction is a type of action. The silent acceptance of wrongdoing is how we’ve gotten to this point. We must not let this continue to be the norm. If we do, then we are all complicit."

"dammit, why am I hungry, it's not--"
*actually looks at clock*
"... oh. right."

the boys are sleeping close enough together on the bed that I was able to pet them both and get actual literal stereo purrs. =^_____^=

looking out my window today is a great time to play "fast fluttering thing: leaf or small bird?"

the juncos are all over the place, twittering and chasing each other, it's pretty awesome to watch

all kinds of dreambits from last night, including:
* having a race of some kind that involved going over cliffs
* a restaurant attached to a hotel, where I applied for work, then forgot about, then when reminded of my first day of work said "nah, never mind, I quit"
* extremely aggressive and adorably genderqueer car towing service took our car, and every other car on the street
* at a party, people were passing pipes but said "oh you don't get any, your tolerance is too high" ;____;
